Hello, I'm Mani 64, married sixteen years. I'm a disabled mother, grandmother and retired actress. I was born in what was then Bombay, India to an Indian father and an English mother, I'm Anglo-Indian. My interests include music, art, Bollywood, writing, painting, photography. I love 60's rock, as I was born in the 60's. I see a lot of Monkees fans here, which is good, since they are one of my favourites. I also love the Beatles, and like most 60's rock. I did like the 80's when I was in my late teens and then my 20's. It was my heyday. "Don't worry, it can only get better" Jack Lukeman. I quit acting and interviewing to work for my local MP. Too much is going on to not get involved. I've given up arguing online with people. I'm too old and my life is too short for that. Chased away by those who lack my vision and imagination.

This is Doris Pollas, the cofounder of the organisation now known as lgbt+ Denmark which by being founded in 1948 is one of the oldest ongoing queer organisation in the world.

Doris lived in a farm in Jutland as a child. She was always butch and figured out she was a lesbian in her teens. When she heard about a club in copenhagen where boys kissed boys and girls kissed girls she went just some months after and it was through that club she started a paper connecting queer people all up to seventies and co founded lgbt+ Denmark.

She is now 97 years old and wishes for every queer person to have an as loving and accepting family as she did.

I don’t see a lot of older gays from my country, so learning about Doris, a masc lesbian, was really nice.

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”
